Sonora Matancera, founded in 1924, is one of the great conjuntos and the way to stardom for a zillion singers. This splendid compilation includes a track each by 15 vocalists.
Celia is here with Yerbero Moderno, but the other cuts are the most interesting -- including one by the brilliant Miguelito Valdez, the original Mr. Babalu but also a Havana heavy in his time. ~ John Storm Roberts, Original Music
